Real-World Scenario

A mid-sized SaaS company signed a 6-figure contract with Ironclad. Six months later, they were still in the "onboarding phase," with legal ops trying to map complex approval workflows. Meanwhile, sales reps were still sending NDAs via manual emails because the system was too complex for them to use.

They switched to Zignature. In one afternoon, the sales manager uploaded their templates, connected Salesforce, and empowered the entire sales team to send contracts directly from their CRM. User adoption went from 5% to 100% in a week.
